You know you’re a professional when he can recite all those details from memory. I’m a car enthusiast, but just all the details he spits from memory… nice job 👍🏻
He has visuals before him
@@cvisconti4568 no he does not, he knows his stuff
I drive a 2019 Crosstrek, and I feel like I struck gold with it. I highly recommend a Subaru to anyone looking for a very solid car with a tighter budget.
How are the screens overall? I’ve heard they can be laggy but I’m looking into the premium crosstreck so I’m wondering if it varies from model to model.
@@xaxyliathey’re pretty good.
Bought a 19’ last year also, it’s a decent car but it does ride lower compared to a typical SUV( Cx-5/tuscan etc)
I love everything on the road but one vehicle I’ve always admired was the Crosstrex it’s simple and to the point but it gets the job done and you see them on the road but not as many I’d definitely buy one vs the sea of SUV’s that look so much alike and I haven’t really ever heard much about a recall I loved when I had my RAV4 and I think this will satisfy me
@@xaxylialol no. They are not good, I’ve got one as well and in Arizona it overheats and lags like crazy. Slightly delayed. Subarus tech is behind pretty much every other brand.. including their eyesight. Just test drove a 2024 Subaru and the eyesight tried to put me into a wall on the highway.. but hey..they’re reliable
Weird seeing all the nit-picking comments. I bought a 2024 Premium and love it! What is the big deal with a having a power lift gate? This one can be quickly raised and lowered by hand. I love the infotainment screen. This is my 3rd Subaru and that was one of the reasons I bought it. As far as under-powered, how fast do you need to go? I can merge onto the interstate just fine, and I pass people all the time? Maybe if I lived in the mountains, but I did not feel the extra cost for a sport or limited was as good a value. I too was concerned about the longevity/reliability of CVT transmissions ... 13 years ago, when I bought my first vehicle to employ one. My other vehicles. Toyota Highlander, Camry, Chevy Cruze.
Is the only difference between the premium and sport the slightly bigger engine?
@@NavUpNorth There are a few other small differences. The sport has some weird yellow paint stripes on it.
I just bought my first Subaru Crosstrek Premium. Really enjoying the ride and handling of the Crosstrek. After driving 3/4 ton trucks for 40 years, the Crosstrek is truly a kick to drive.
The nasty tissue that comes with it in the back seat cup holders sold me! Thanks for a great review!
For those wondering why we hate laggy screens now but we didn't mind laggy screens back then, one big reason is because now, a lot of things are baked into the screen while back then, a lot of things were controlled by physical buttons outside the screen. Some cars still have features controlled by hard buttons, and this is why a laggy screen should not be a dealbreaker in a Toyota or Honda
I don’t have an issue with screens
I hate having to go into the screen for everything in my 2020 legacy. I hate the auto-off feature when the car is stopped so I have to navigate through the screens turn it off everytime I start the car.
Its not just that, its been years since lag was common occurence in my life. Fast internet is common, smartphones, smart tvs, computers, have all long advanced past lag being something that happens every time you try to do something. So its very noticable when a company is still using obsolete software
We're getting a premium with the 2.5 engine because after driving a mini cooper for 3 years I need the quicker engine. We wanted an SUV low enough to lift our kayaks onto the roof without step stools. Already used to Apple CarPlay and the back up camera on our van, and living in VA with an underground garage we really don't need the heated seats, but the moonroof will be missed. I think we'll just add a leather cover to the steering wheel. This is the closest thing to my 2008 Saab 9-3 wagon I can find, that was the best car I've ever had.
My spouse went to test drive the Crosstrek Premim 2.0 but they had one Impreza RS 2.5 in the showroom. He liked the Crosstrek, ok car, it does scream at higher speeds. He took the black RS home, needeless to say. Im still waiting for my base Impreza to get to the dealer, hopefully sooner than expected ☺️
We have ours on order in this exact color! I can't wait to get it! I bought this with my teenagers in mind who drive now. I like all of the safety feature and the price is good for all of the options you get. I found it VERY comfortable on the test drive - much more comfortable than our new CRV. By the way, three other people have deposits at our dealer on this exact car in this exact color. It's very popular!
@mandywho8714 - I just purchased the premium yesterday in Onyx with my teenagers in mind (not of driving age yet though). Just like you, the safety aspect, price, and overall experience make this a great deal. I'm excited to see the capabilities of the vehicle as well.
I am purchasing this Crosstrek, I just need to know what colour my wife likes! I like this blue, I think she does as well! I think I also like the silver. You must be excited to get the new one too...We have never had Subaru before...but it looks great , felt great, and we like the economy it gives us
Well actually2.0 works for me… It makes the price affordable and I’m not speed racer.
i bought mine today i dont mind having small engine as long as it is fuel economy esp here in California lol
Thank for giving us the 0-60, the real information lol
I just picked up my 24 Convenience pkg! 2.0L is more than enough for the small family. Drives well and saves you a ton of money for the few luxuries! I got 5.5L/100k with 2L on the highway. City is higher! The Convenience is excellent value for the money.
Wow 5.5L/100 km on the highway?? That’s crazy impressive, and beats the EPA’s rating but a great amount~ it’s rated at 6.9L/100 km for the highway. In the city, I can easily see this do maybe in the low 5 L/100 km in the city or maybe 6 L?? It literally does the same economy as my Hyundai Venue, which is also great on gas. How much do you pay for gas in average?
They are horrible in the long run man...they do not have engine gaskets , they have silicone glue instead and they leak like mad once the silicone dissolves away.their cvts are okay but have valve body solenoid issues and "shift" very wonky
❤My husband and I buy Subaru sport 2023
We love it thank you for sharing this video i love it ❤
Mines on order.
I'm in Canada so i ordered the special NHL hockey edition.
Yup I'm getting the Subaru Crosscheck
What an excellent review. Clear and complete.
Fantastic job on your review! Very informative and done very well! Thank you!
Love this review! Thank you!!
I wish my ‘22 WRX had those ancient buttons for the heated seats instead of 3 screen taps to turn on the seat heater
It gets a LOT better if You just go with the forester....More room.....More comfort......More visibility......Paul
The Forester is very outdated looking compared to everything else out there in the small SUV segment.
The equivalent in Canada is the Touring model which has the covered steering wheel and shifter boot. We didn't get the power driver seat though. Since they are both built in Japan (Premium and Touring) I don't understand why they are not exactly the same.
The new Subaru line up looks good...but they need to deliver more POWER !!!!!!!!
Definitely! I still can't believe that a 2023 Corolla LE gasoline model is 1.5 seconds faster in zero to 60 compared to this Crosstrek.
@@braetonwilson4296 people don't buy this for speed...no one really cares it's slower
even if you don't buy it for speed, you still don't want a slow vehicle. Crosstrek is slow, especially when loaded down with passengers and cargo.
@@braetonwilson4296yep ..... I mean look how many folks buy a Toyota Corollas and take them to the drag strip. 😂😂😂
I race my '21 2.5 Crosstrek ALL the time. 🙄
Owned a 1990 Volvo wagon with a mind blowing114hp for over 20 years. Never had an issue getting anywhere with 4 folks and cargo.
your 1990 Volvo wagon was half the weight of your 21 Crosstrek, no wonder the 114 hp was sufficient.
14:46 I wonder how many new Subaru Crosstrek's will come with a "Nasty Tissue" :D
😂 And a penny on its rear door
$41k car in Canada for a Limited. Not what I would classify as affordable but it is an outstanding car in the 2.5Litre version.
Those heated seat buttons nd shift remind me of early 2010 Subarus 💀💀
Don't fix what ain't broke, though. They work well and are conveniently located.
@@ZeGermanHam can’t disagree
I hope they started using better plastics in the 24, I have scratches on my 23 from my fingernail brushing against the gauge cluster while cleaning it :(
😮
Excellent review thanks
".....14:49...with a nasty tissue stuck in there..." got me riled up...
Awesome, nearly a million subs!
I had never driven a CVT transmission vehicle and I test drove the 2.5L engine Crosstrek and I was not impressed with the power. It felt sluggish. The ride was excellent but CVT's are not for me. I want that power when I need it and the Crosstrek didn't deliver. I was hoping I would like it as I really like the look and capabilities of this car.
you got it on intelligence mode
I sort of felt the same last year when I bought my outback. I had never driven a CVT myself either what I did do was get the XT model which means it has a turbo charged engine as I didn’t want to feel any of the sluggishness that you refer to, I’ve had the car for a little over six months now and taking it on a long holiday and overall I am very pleased with the power and performance of the vehicle. Keep in mind, though that is a bigger vehicle.
If you drive it expressly in a 0-60 type mode it’s gonna feel or, more accurately, sound sluggish but in day to day driving getting up to speed is easy and available reserves of power are readily accessible. I have the Impreza RS which is a tad lighter but significantly lower and more sporty feeling. I’ve never had a CVT vehicle before and still have my bought new ‘02 WRX wagon and I’ve owned a ‘70 454 Monte Carlo SS as well as a ‘76 Civic among many others so it’s not like I don’t have experience in different powertrains and eking out performance from the car you’ve got. Putting it in S mode makes a difference and between that and the paddle shifters, strong brakes, supple ride and super stiff chassis the driving experience overall is superb.
I've been driving Subaru's 2.0 for the last 12 years in different vehicles. It is considerably slower than the 2.5, but it's my pick because of its reliability and good fuel efficiency. I don't notice a difference between auto and CVT. I press the pedal, and they go 😅
Look at the Mazda CX-30…191 hp 186 ft/lbs torque with a 6 speed automatic transmission. I just bought one and like it though it is a bit small. My other choice would have been a Corolla Cross but couldn’t find any in FL with AWD for when I move back to Buffalo, NY. The Corolla Cross has 169 hp and CVT but Toyota’s CVTs has a real 1st gear to launch the car.
Everyone complaining about cvts yet they are the best sellers in the US
Toyotas Hondas and Subarus
All depends on the car
Because everyone’s putting them in the cars, and a lot of people don’t even know what they are.
@@AbandoneD-b8m I def know the difference and you are right, most people don’t know what a cvt is or even the horsepower numbers in the car they are driving 😂
Subaru does make a decent cvt though
I actually really like the CVT in my '23 Crosstrek Limited 2.5L. For daily use, it's exceptionally smooth and quiet. Just does its thing invisibly in the background, and I don't think most people would even know it was a CVT without telling them.
@@ZeGermanHam yeah Subaru does it well
Totally agree with the steering wheel at this price. It's such an important interface point and just putting something nicer there makes instantly gives the car a more premium feel vs. making it feel cheap. While 30k ain't a luxury car price, it still isn't cheap and the steering wheel shouldn't make you feel like you are driving a base trim vehicle from 10-15 years ago.
Thank you for your review
Very helpful!
The 2.0L has a conventional thermostat for the cooling system, and the 2.5L uses a plastic coolant distribution valve, which fails and is located under the intake manifold. I'll take the 2.0L, thank you.
I just ordered the 2024 Premium and customized it. I'm getting the pearl orange. That sucks it doesn't come with the leather steering wheel because I was really hoping to get that.
Just not having a leather steering wheel is a deal breaker for me.
Get a steering wheel cover
I’m waiting for your review crosstrek wilderness version
They really need to drop this engine and only offer the 2.5. Or better yet, develop a small turbo charge, maybe 1.5 Liter Turbo. This lack of torque with CVT is borderline dangerous.
So rework the whole car. Good suggestion. I am guessing that you work for Waffle House....not Subaru.
I drive the '19 Crosstrek and have driven many other cars over the years. The torque is adequate but definitely not fast. Grannies aren't passing me on their bikes or anything like that mind you- it gets me going at a decent clip and if I want to perk it up a bit I switch to M mode and use the paddle shifters.
I dont understand how this is a SUV. Lifting up a hatchback doesn't give you a new body style. Lifting up a sedan, truck, wagon, and minivan doesn't allow it to magically transcend its category. It's still what it had always been.
It's a station wagon, just like the Outback is. I'm with you.
@LeahE16 It's way to short to be a station wagon. It's a hatchback.
@@baronvonjo1929 I guess I'm not with you, lol.
@@LeahE16 How is it a wagon lol. You have several cars especially in Europe that are offered as a sedan, hatch, and wagon. What do you use to tell the difference? This is just way too short in my eyes.
@@baronvonjo1929 I guess I think of hatch as a sedan body with hatch back instead of trunk, and this doesn't have a sedan body feel to me. I'll call it a compact wagon. :-P Out of curiosity, how does an Outback classify to you? I've always thought of them as wagons, but then SUV and crossover became a thing, so. 🤷
For speakers I reccomend going with the premium low end speakers then switching the dash speakers with kicker aftermarket, then I installed a subwoofer for better base but that all costed around $700 and it sounds 100x clearer and thesubwoofer helps reduce the door speakers maxing out (only $90 tho for dash speakers however they easily overpower the stock bass levels)
Any tips on how easy that is to do? I really liked the limited sound system but don’t need the leather. So a premium would be perfect minus the poor speaker system. Thanks
@@chriswessner220 I got the kicker kcs350 which are $80 on Crutchfield for my dash and all u gotta do is take the speaker grill cover off, then unscrew and unplug the old ones. Then u splice in the wires from the new speakers and it only took me 30 min with no electrical experience ever. I just used a TH-cam tutorial to install the tweeters. Then the sub I just got a 12” kicker ported box sub and an amp that can support the sub. But I took it to a shop to install cus it needs more electrical components that were confusing for me. I used freeman’s car stereo and it only took them a couple days to get it done just due to the cars before me but it will normally only take a shop a day if they can get u in immediately.
Use to have a 87 Dodge Shadow with the base engine that you needed a calendar to measure the 0 to 60 time, so this Subaru would seem zippy compared to that.
Gross Tissue stole the video's thunder for me. Can't remember anything else that was said because it was just so unexpected.
Can't recall the reason for 2024 Crosstrek recall but I think it included all trims.
Something about a wiring harness to close to steering components
@@dennispluto3806 Thanks for jogging my memory and I think you're right 👍
Ive always liked these just wish it had more power, it doesnt need to be fast but it really needs more passing power
The Sport and Limited have 30 more HP than the Premium.
It's pretty much dead-on with 90% of all the other compact CUV's as far as hp per vehicle weight %.
How tall are you? I'm guessing 5' 3". You make this small car look big.
Wish they'd offer this in XT form with the 2.4t. Total overkill, but it can get the much larger Outback to 60 in about 6 seconds. Crosstrek would probably get in the low 5s. Could be pretty fun even with not so fun CVT.
The 2.5 should be more than powerful enough for this car. But its crappy transmission ruins it for me.
@mikeymutual5489 lol, it's not that bad.
I'm 58 years old and ordered a Crosstrek w/2.5 a year+ ago.
These compact CUV's aren't meant to be race cars, and the hp on the CT is pretty much inline with every other compact CUV is this segment.
The awd is great for the winter months and the ability to make 400 mile trips and knock down 36 mpg on the interstate running 75-80 mph is a bonus.
The CVT is not much different response wise than anything else I've owned with a standard automatic .... and I've owned ALOT of vehicles, currently 3.
Have the tranny flushed every 40k miles and they'll do 200,000+ easily.
@@danielfair4675 I don't think it needs the turbo. The 2.5 is more than adequate. Would just be fun to have a speedy Crosstrek. And I don't totally dislike the CVT. I have a 21 Outback XT Touring, and I can get some pretty good mileage out of it using some hypermiling techniques. I average about 33 mpg with mostly short trips, and it can get low 40s on 55 mph roads. It responds extremely well. I'd imagine you could get mid to upper 30s average with the same drivetrain in a Crosstrek, as well as having that performance when you want it. It's not super sporty, but it's worth the trade off considering the mileage you can get out of it when you're trying to be efficient.
The interior is almost a retro 1980's or 90's with the hard plastic, non-standard LED lighting, with some fake carbon fiber thrown in, for no good reason. But I kinda feel that no-nonsense, it just works interior, vibe. Almost expecting roll-up windows ;) Really how much more would it have cost them to add soft touch to the doors, and LED bulbs inside and out? Looks like the Limited gives you leather seats & larger engine for $4K over the price of a Premium with the fully loaded options. Is that a good value? Maybe yes and maybe no. Leather seats of black can get pretty darn hot in California Summers. They throw in the leather steering wheel and shift knob, but what of the other still hard surfaces? I was thinking of the Sport model, but does the yellow become impossible to keep clean on the seats, and black ( dark gray ) wheels -- not sure about??? Premium, as shown here, might be a best option, unless significantly slower.
Looks better without the side cladding

Does a subary crosstrek premium have an option only for blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert?Not all other fearures as,power moon roof,power seats and heated sears
No. They make you buy the entire package. It's ridiculous, in a brand focused on safety, not to offer those features separately.

Precise Crosstrek review
That´s so crazy - in Europe the 2L 150hp engine comes always with a transmission flanged hybrid electric motor and a small battery in the trunk, that gives an extra
power of 16.6hp and 45fp of torque. It´s not plug in! Would be interesting why they don´t sell this combination to the whole planet?
Some people will complain that the interior is "cheap" as if the Crosstrek never had a "luxury" like interior to begin with
I don’t need a luxury interior but the steering wheel, and other cheaper materials, aren’t great- they’re still charging almost $30k+ for this one after all.
30K for a loud unrefined engine with crappy materials
@@cozyflannel ever hear of inflation materials cost more even cheap leathers and cloth are way up
The interior of the 2018-23 Crosstreks was not luxurious, but it was well made and very decent for the class. I own a '23 Crosstrek Limited, and I can tell that Subaru did some cost-cutting with the '24 to keep the overall cost of the vehicle down. The door panels, center console, and upper dash in particular look much cheaper in the '24 that what came in the previous gen.
I do not get why you and other reviewers continually carp about vehicles w/o an electric liftback. I have one on my mazda, first time for me with this feature, and frankly i hate it. It is slow up and down and the liftgate is unable to be pushed shut easily if the cargo is a bit too much. There is no lift gate i have ever found too heavy to lift (struts you know)and the auto feature just adds weight and cost and is not really more convenient, imo.
On my lincoln mkx the hatch motor has went bad three times in 4 1/2 years. It was all covered under extended warranty. Other than that it has been a great car.
@@willwilliam217 my complaint is not the quality of an elec hatch but the necessity...more complex, slower, more expensive , heavier than a non elec. Hatch. They should be a stand alone option for those wanting them
💯
Our mkx is slow and I prefer our Impreza. Less parts to fail and pretty effortless
Which is better in driving dynamics the crosstrek or the forester?
Need to add more premium features I clouding panoramic sunroof
Panoramic sunroofs absolutely suck in the hot South.
No it doesn't it's designed for normal people who want a normal car, not everything needs to go the luxury route
correct@@eskieman3948
My ‘21 premium came standard with the auto dim mirrors/rearview…. And also had the 12v in the right spot! What the hell happened
They say if you don't feel safe in an area where you have to fill up, leave your door open. That won't do you a lot of good if your fuel door is on the passenger side of the car. 😂
Power output of the 2.5L is 182hp/178ft-lbs, not 175hp/178ft-lbs, and base trim does not get roof rails. The redesigned '24 Crosstrek is still a decent vehicle, but I feel there was some cost-cutting that took place and ultimately the 2018-23 Gen-2 Crosstrek was a better value.
I've got a '21 Limited w/2.5, was offered damn near what I paid new to go to a '24 Limited.
I declined.
Yup 18-23 is a better car… less computerized bs in the tablet screen and a manual transmission, seat heaters w/leather shifter and leather wrapped wheel in a premium for 26k you have to go to the sport for a leather wheel in the 24
the 2024 just looks so so much better is all @@Smegma_pirate
NEWBEE here, this is THE BEST car review i have ever seen! Earned a subscribe and 👍
excellent and thorough review of the 2024 Crosstrek. I have a 2019 2.0 Premium and it has the leather steering wheel which is interesting considering that the 2024 Premium doesn't have. Outside of that, I get 30 mpg combined as well with mine and honestly, I love it. I don't have a ton of miles on mine but I am eventually going to trade it in for the Crosstrek Wilderness but that won't happen until the 2025 model comes out only because I want to see if they tweek somethings on the 2025 Wilderness...
Subaru.... send Sofyan a Limited version of the Crosstrek for the contrast between the Premium and Limited.
While the interior may look dated, it screams long-term reliable to me. I’m on my 3rd EV, and while I love them, i wonder in 15-20 years how many of them will be unusable in a scrap heap. While this Subaru will be chugging along, probably look the same inside, sans some wear on the seats, everything will probably still work like normal.
Wow what EVs are you getting being on your 3rd already?
@@JRTrilling First was an '18 BMW i3S, leased, turned in early. Got a '20 Tesla Model 3 Perf. and sold it at the height of the market last August '22, made a killing. It cooincided with my '22 Rivian reservation being delivered. Plan on keeping my EV truck until the battery warranty expires 8yr/175k miles, whichever I hit first :)
Most cars bought nowadays will be on the trash heap in 15-20 years regardless. To me, the batteries on the EVs and hybrids are a concern. I love EVs, but not sure they'll be usable or very desireable after 10 years. There are so many dependencies in these cars and manufacturers will likely stop supporting their older models' tech and software eventually. No surprise there. Congrats on the Rivian and hope it runs well for a very long time.
I can say the 2024 Crosstrek premium is a very good “wagon”. The ride is smooth and handling sure footed with the positioning of the 2 liter boxer engine.
In some cases as far as interior the materials used make sense for this segment, hard touch and durable for the majority of people with kids and or dogs is one less thing that can be easily ruined. Seats are comfortable and most drivers should find the performance acceptable, the AWD and off-road capability for this “wagon” is really good.
i love awd powerful suv
I read early Subaru cvt transmissions don’t last that long. After 10 years/ 100k miles it goes back and that’s like a $7-8k in replacement and repair. Even Subaru admitted that early cvts were faulty and extended the warranty as a result to 10 years/100k miles to avoid the backlash. I hope this new cvt transmission is better now. I’m also looking at the Mazda cx30. Less spacious, and awful display non-touch screen but at least it’s not a cvt. Decisions to make and decide lol
I think the Offshore Blue is the only one getting the gray seating instead of black or darker seats. Is this correct???
Nice review! Just to clarify the 2.5 engine has 182hp. Love this car! 🤩
Got rid of my Acura ilx for a Crosstrek. Is it dreadfully slow and is the CVT a major snooze fest? Yes, and yes. Yet whenever im on the highway with advance cruise control with acceleration set to comfort, I'm still sending people to gapapplebees. So either people are allergic to acceleration or everyone else is driving something slower.
That drone from the cvt transmission is terrible. I bet that noise would get old real fast
Is the nasty tissue a dealer add on or ??
God I hope so
Mine does not have sunroof, heated front seats :(
The fact that you get a plastic steering wheel in premium trim is not good also the hard plastic dash in part gives the feeling of cheap interior. The power in the U.K. is a miserable 134 BHP down from 150 BHP from the previous year. The 2.5L is not available here neither are the Limited, Sport or the Wilderness trims. We get 2 trims only. Hence why I don’t have one.
Looking forward to you reaching 1 million subscribers, Sofyan! You're almost at the finish line now! Woo Woo!
Seems like a great little car.
There's a lot of Crosstreks in my neighbourhood and for good reason. I like how simple and easy to use it'll be, and again, it's one of the few that actually offer AWD in this segment. Most are FWD, and so it's nice that Subaru offers their Symmetrical AWD system in this car, they're pretty much known for it. This is the perfect off-road car. When I think of offroad cars, a Subaru Crosstrek is actually one of the ones I first think about surprisingly.
Any comments or opinions on the standard engine being underpowered?
Maybe the manual will be back, because they got rid of it so every Crosstek would have Eyesight
Not because they didn't sell , like most people say
The reason I think this is
Because they just came out with a Eyesght system that is capable of working on the new WRX manual
Bruh they’ve had that same key fob since 2015. Change it Subaru…
Yep, that's the first thing any buyer cares about when buying a new vehicle.
It adds up!
Looking forward to seeing you do an updated review of the Outback.
Before I bought a Forester, I sat in a Crosstrek - in 2016 the front seats were too close to each other and I felt like I was being pushed into the door - I am of normal height and weight - an average adult shouldn't feel cramped in their vehicle. I don't know if that's changed but that was my impression. Also the emcee here sounds like a typical car salesman - hawking for the manufacturers - too biased - he sounds like this: You won't believe me when I tell YOU that this car will do your laundry while you're driving home from work!
Awesome job Sofyan!
very helpful
Where is the Stop/Start kill button?
2.5 liter engine has 182 hp and 176 lb ft of torque.
They really need to follow Mazda and discontinue the painfully slow 2.0 Liter engine.
Interesting, but I’m leaning towards the Seltos
Oh wow so great 👍 and very beautiful 😍❤️ and the engine 🚂🚒 very strong and powerful and very good design with the new 🆕 technology for the new 🆕 generation hument and very easy to drive and comfortable.❤
155000 crosstreks sold in a year? Is that number correct?
Wow, really digging deep into the parts bins for those heated seats buttons. Also with it being 2023 now, I quite honestly put a high value on full led lights front and rear.
Buy a M-B GLA ....
They have been the same buttons for decades. Why fix it if it works?

It looks more like a mini Outback now.....
Yeah, "enough of that," he says after doing three 0-60 tests on a vehicle with 152 hp. OK.
This is the first time I've actually been able to HEAR the CVT buzziness you often mention.
Also, man, what a hideous interior. I hate the vertical touchscreen thingy in a weird geometrical shield shape. And those super dated pieces like the shifter... 😬 And is that vinyl on the sides and backs of the seats??
Great color, but the engine is too small. I would prefer the 2.5 - 4 cylinder liter engine
Many thx for great rev👍 unfortunately again subaru failed to deliver more passing power/tourq from boxer motor at this point that's biggest minus/design fault😕
The 182hp 2.5L is the way to go here. Totally gets the job done and returns decent fuel mileage.
I have to 2.5 L version and it does the job quite nicely!
I got great leather for the premium trim from Subaru crosstrek for less than $2000. Also has interior LED upgrade for the premium.
People that fall for a jacked up MSRP must be the laziest people alive. The manufacturer lists every MSRP on their website and if you do build a price, it gives you the MSRP.
Tht cvt sounds so bad previous gen sounded a lil bit bettee
What this car needs is a 120hp Electric Hybrid motor to help out that very weak flat 4. This car should have 250+ HP and get 40mpg. Weak, very weak.
it's a Subaru for a reason 😂
Don’t need to add complexity separate trim yes let’s us have the NA options
That would jack the price up considerably.
Go get 'em Karen
